SWSoft, the company behind Parallels Desktop for Mac, is possibly violating the LGPL license by using LGPL libraries from the WINE project without providing access to the source code. The WINE project first discovered the violation early this June, and after several failed attempts at getting the source code to the libraries, they set up a wiki page to keep track of the ongoing violation. The WINE project wants to resolve the issue "without starting legal action". Thanks to MacWereld for pointing this out [Dutch].

They can't even use the LGPL correctly. They just have to give back the changes they made , and not open everything, either that or quit distributing the software. With the hordes of OSNewsers, slashdotters, and diggers raising a fuss, I'm sure this will be cleared up rather quickly.
